Answer:

Not equivalent

Explanation:

The expression 7(x−3)+2 is not equivalent to the expression 3x−19+4x.

The first expression is the result of multiplying 7 by (x-3) and then adding 2, while the second expression is the result of adding the result of 3x and -19 and 4x. These two expressions are not the same and cannot be simplified to be the same.
